ShareNEW HOPE, Pa.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
MeetMe, Inc. (NASDAQ: MEET), the public market leader for social
discovery, has enhanced the Chat experience in its MeetMe mobile
applications by integrating notifications of new friends and new matches
directly into user-to-user conversations. The company believes this
upgrade will lead to more chat activity by reducing friction involved in
starting a conversation when new connections are made on the MeetMe
platform.
“This enhancement is the latest in a series of several upgrades aimed at
streamlining the user experience and funneling traffic into our most
engaging feature — Chat,” said Geoff Cook, CEO of MeetMe. “We believe
that integrating these high-volume notifications directly into Chat will
provide our users with a much more seamless way to turn new connections
into extended back-and-forth conversations within MeetMe.”
In addition to integrating notifications directly in Chat, MeetMe
continues to enhance the core Chat experience. Its new app update on iOS
and Android offers audio alerts of new chats and real-time typing
indicators in the chat list; both features are designed to help users
more easily keep tabs on their conversations.
